Max was holding his knee as Cox took that mark. He then hobbled to the bench and that little [censored] Ginnivan had a go at him on his way past. Max gave him an absolute spray

Slow movement from defense is killing our ability to score, need to be more daring I reckon and accept that we will turn some over but at least we have clearer path to goal

No thanks.   They kill us on turnovers through the middle, should be in front if they kicked straight

I hope Viney puts that little gutter rat on his [censored].

    covering transition from d50 was shaky that quarter, really need to plug the corridor. 

    Harmes streaming into the 50 runs to 40m and doesn’t make the distance or doesn’t have a shot. I’m unsure which it was but I was sick to death of this from last week as well

    Says Max is off injured online?

    what happened there?

    Cox up to his knee and boot dirty tactics.Did it to someone last week or the week before.Deliberately puts full impact into his opponents back with both knees or feet. You will need it to be shown from a different angle.

    Midfield getting pantsed again today. Losing clearances and contested ball, giving them free reign to take it quickly through the corridor. Oliver a lone hand. 

    Spargo had a great second quarter. Huge pressure and clean kicks going inside 50. 

    Jackson is a shadow of himself at present and is getting outbodied too easily. How any league footballer can miss goals from 10 meters out with little angle is beyond me.

    We’re not converting opportunity when we had the momentum. Will be a tough fight from here to get up.

    A week of kicking practice for Jackson.

    Meed more from M Brown too.

    Hibberd has been good

    This bloke is such a big game white line player.  Anyone who says Hibb is done & dusted well think again.  Our best down back so far by the length of the Flemington straight

    Just a matter of time before their midfield dominance, attack from the breakdown and run through the midfield overwhelms us, straight kicking or not. Unless we [censored] this and really make them pay from the contest and turnover, they’ll start piling on goals. No idea where our team’s gone, but they’re a dwindling shadow of last year, and it’s utterly horrible to watch. 

    lost that quarter, so often we lose the 2nd quarter, hopefully we will have one of our fantastic 3rd quarters and put them to the sword.

    Dominate first 20 minutes of quarter don't convert, momentum swings rinse repeat.

    Been the case three weeks in a row. Exactly same vibe as last three weeks. We don't win from here unless we pull a rabbit out of the hat. Pies are very well coached. No way they have better cattle than us but if teams defend us in the air it's all over.

    Owned the first 20 minutes plus let them back in late. Half-time reset it won't be easy, we can prevail. Do it Demons. Battle is Midway.

    MFCSS? get some resolve we have untapped reserves

    Turner going well on debut, especially early.

    Bowey is well out of form unfortunately. Hunt or Rivers would be more effective on form.


    No fluency or rhythm. Lead in legs. Hopefully pies poor goal kicking continues because they have more energy and zip.

    little angle

    Is that a joke? 

    We don't look like we want it like we did last year. Lacking the will to work and compete at the level required. Shocking withdrawal from the contest at the end then against Mihochek. This feels like a loss coming and we are heading for scrapping for a top 4 finish after this.

    Similar feel to last 2 games.
    Far to stagnant going forward.
    And kick straight when we've got control.

    Atmosphere is unreal. The stupid comments are cracking me up. Chanting USA after Cox misses is the best thing ever

    How many points do we need to up by at three-quarter time to be a chance of winning?

    No pressure what so ever then. Just allowed them to waltz it down to there forward line

    Why after any team who gets the ball in their defensive 50 are we allowing them to waltz down the ground and let them kick it into their forwards 50 with no pressure. Been happening for too long.

    Time to put this Ginnivin kid on his [censored]. Little [censored] mouthing off to Gawn. Who the hell do you think you are? Have you won a flag or been an AA 5 times? No. So shut the [censored] up!

    I think it is best not to pay attention to him and just land some nice hard tackles on him at every chance.

    And can our forwards lead once on a while. Not enough movement

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
